It is consumption that is the greater problem, rather than mere population growth. The consumption of one rich world 1%er, or one of their like in the tiny elites that dominate poor countries, is as damaging as that of tens, or hundreds, of people living at the level of subsistence. So, in my opinion, the great problem is inequality, in other words, it is capitalism, which exists to create as great disparities of wealth and power as possible. Reduce inequality and poverty and you also, as is well established, reduce the growth of population.
